Houston is a large city with very unique qualities that most cities cannot even begin to understand, but is this just Houstonian pride talking?

I believe it is impossible because while doing one thing our mind gets interrupted by the other things we have to put our focus in. Therefore, we do not all get to truly put our entire focus on each thing we have to take care of in our lives. I feel this is a great example
